It's a touch Joplinesque.

For comparison, here's Janis' Porsche...

You would never loose your car in a parking lot- Just look for the crowd scratching their heads.

Well, if it's really a work of art that should be preserved, the car could have new fenders, doors and hoods replaced and hang the art on the wall. Drive a nice long hood Targa and leave the art at the gallery.

It would really look great on a VW bus. But not on a Porsche.

I personally think it looks amazing. I love that style of art. Fact is however, it just does not belong on this car. Hopefully the artist will wise up for his next go around and use a rolling wall such as the VW Bus or something we hold less near and dear to our hearts.

At least it does not look like all of the other '73's!

On a VW Bug, that would be an awesome paint job... on a 911 not so much

shag-a-delic, Baby.

Is that a long, white phallic symbol on the hood?

Agreed here as well, though that didn't happen with Joplin's 356. I suspect that if either (1) the car had a celebrity owner (2) the artist were better known or (3) someone won races with that as their livery, there'd be a rush to duplicate it on "tribute" cars.
